Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah will achieve an extremely rare feat for the England national team if he makes his debut against Senegal.
The centre-back, who spent the first half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace, received his first call-up by Thomas Tuchel - who had him at Chelsea and tried to sign him during his spell in charge of Bayern Munich.
Chalobah was an unused substitute in the 1-0 win over Andorra at the weekend and is not expected to get a start at the City Ground on Tuesday night when England host Senegal in a friendly.
Tuchel is poised to make seven changes, including one at the heart of his defence, but Chalobah is set to be a sub again.

However, the 25-year-old could become the 1293rd player to play for England and etch his name in history with an appearance in Nottingham.
Trevoh Chalobah could exclusive England club
Chalobah will join his older brother Nathaniel in an exclusive list of siblings to have played for England at senior level.
Bobby and Jack Charlton were the first to do so, both winning the World Cup in 1966. Manchester United youth products Gary and Phil Neville then played in the same side 30 years on and racked up 144 caps between them.
But Chalobah is now looking to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who made his senior bow against Spain back in 2018.
"My older brother has been through the ranks as well and he was over the moon when I got the call up," Chalobah said, as per The Sun.
"Hopefully I can keep myself in the team and doing well.
"To get the call-up is amazing. It was one of my goals since playing through the ranks, from Under-16 to Under-21. It's a dream to play in the first team."
Chalobah Sr, currently at Sheffield Wednesday, came on as an extremely late substitute for Harry Winks in a 3-2 UEFA Nations League away win over Spain.
The ex Watford man came on in added time after 90 minutes, meaning he technically played zero minutes - though his actual playing time was 6 minutes and 54 seconds.
Capped just once for the Three Lions, his international run is the second-shortest in history after Martin Kelly, whose career lasted two minutes and thirty nine seconds against Norway.
